1967, Chevrolet launched the Camaro to compete against the Ford
Mustang in the burgeoning Pony Car class. Comprised of small,
sporty coupes that could be optioned with big engines, this became
one of the most popular classes of car in the era and has gone on
to become one of the most coveted American classic cars out there.
When it came to Camaros in the 1967 model year, it was hard to do
better than an RS/SS 396 - just like this example.Sold new at
Madison's Chevrolet in Scottsdale, AZ on June 30th 1967, the
original owner Raul Martinez kept the car until 1988. Finished in a
striking color scheme of Tahoe Turquoise with white Bumblebee
stripes, over a Turquoise vinyl interior, this Camaro is absolutely
gorgeous to look at. The 1967 Camaros featured a slightly less
muscular, almost European shape when compared to the later cars,
and the exterior of this car is rounded out nicely by a set of
14-inch Kelsey Hayes Rallye wheels with redline tires.The interior
of this car was custom ordered with the Z23 Interior Decor Group
with included bucket seats, a console, full instrumentation, tinted
glass and more. The Turquoise vinyl wraps the seats front and rear,
along with the door cards and rear trim panels and the carpet is
even dyed to match. Drop down into the driver's seat and you're met
by a 3-spoke teak-rimmed steering wheel that frames a large
speedometer and tachometer in front of the driver, with auxiliary
gauges to your right by the console.The 396ci V8 is one of the most
legendary engines from Chevrolet's family of big blocks. In L35
trim, it produces 325 horsepower and a stump pulling 410 Lb-Ft of
torque which was more than enough to make this lightweight Camaro a
rocket. Power is then sent through a Muncie M20 4-speed manual
gearbox topped by a sweet shifting Hurst shifter, to the rear
wheels via a 12-bolt rear end with 3.31 Positraction. According to
the Protect-O-Plate, both the engine and rear end are numbers
matching for this Camaro, but the Muncie gearbox is date coded from
1965. For easier driving, the car is also equipped with both power
steering and power disc brakes.The first generation Camaro is
without a doubt one of the most coveted classic cars in the United
States - appreciated by car lovers who remember it when it was new,
as well as those who are only just getting into the hobby. This
example is particularly special with a string of long-term owners,
a drop-dead gorgeous color combination and that potent 396ci V8 and
4-speed manual topping it all off.*------------*For more
